The Green Bay Packers claimed safety Johnathan Abram off waivers from the Las Vegas Raiders on Wednesday, narrowly beating out the Denver Broncos, who had a slightly better record with one less loss.
In 36 games, including 34 starts with the Raiders, Abram produced 255 tackles, eight tackles for loss, three interceptions, and 12 pass defenses. He is the latest bust from the Mike Mayock era to be released from Las Vegas after a disappointing start to his career.
The Raiders tried to trade their 2019 first-round pick ahead of last Tuesday’s trade deadline but found no takers.
